Mattress dealers vs appliance dealers....appliance dealers are required to disclose...why not mattress dealers?
| Appliance dealers are now required to OPENLY DISPLAY the ACTUAL and ORIGINAL manufactures model numbers of all their appliances so consumers can compare products and prices from dealer to dealer and be able to contact the manufactures to obtain detailed info if they wish. We can now do it so easily via the manufactures web sites by viewing and downloading spec sheets, installation instructions, warranty info and more. Why isn't this the case in the mattress industry as well? Its the exact same situation only with mattresses instead of appliances. Does anyone happen to know the name of the legislation that inacted this mandate in the appliance industry? I'm going to contact some consumer agency's, my congressmen, and others about how the mattress industry is soooo anti-consumer as compared to the appliance industry. I am completly against government intrusion (apples in Happy Meals vs cookies etc) but what is going on in the mattress industry is criminal. If there are any attorneys reading this and can advise me as to how to proceed i would appreciate any guidance you could provide me. |
